Fall Foliage Getaway: Hidden Pond Resort in Maine

Wednesday October 7 2009

According to New England Fall Foliage reports, we are only a few weeks away from prime peak foliage. If you are looking for a weekend getaway to check it all out — with or without kids — I’ve got a GREAT one for you. A fellow well-traveled friend (who in my view has great taste) came back raving about a new place she visited last month — in Kennebunkport, Maine.

Living area of “Lucky” cottageTwo different cottage dining rooms — Hidden Pond in Kennebunkport, Maine.

On Conde Nast Traveler’s 2009 Hot List(not that it means anything — I personally think that list is fixed), this one year old, self-proclaimed “boutique resort” with “flip flop chic” aesthetic seems to have everything anyone would want in a weekend getaway (you won’t find any frilly knotty pine decor or chintz here):

14 spacious, individually-designed 2-bedroom cottages on the 60-acre resort. Each cottage comes with its own kitchen, frette linens, down duvets, flat screen TVs, i-pod docking stations and, best …a morning bakery basket filled with hot coffee, home-baked muffins and a New York Times paper. The staff will even stock the pantry with groceries before you arrive, if you so desire.

Organic farm – Guests have free access to pick whatever is grown

Tented spa

“Ledges” – a gathering place to lounge, gather by the fireplace and have daily wine & cheese
